Elephant Stripe — Bright White

  • Walls
  • Woodwork

Roughly the proportions we’d use: most of the room in one colour, a third of it in the woodwork, and about a tenth of it brave.

Walls

Au Lait

Farrow & Ball · No. CB9

Picks up the paper’s ground, a shade lighter so the pattern still leads.

Woodwork

Stoke

Farrow & Ball · No. CC7

The same note taken darker: skirting, doors and panelling.

Ask us about it

These pairings are worked out from a photograph of the paper, so the printing, the lighting and your screen have all had a go at the colour before you see it. Treat them as a shortlist worth sampling, not a decision. Bring the paper and a sample pot together in the room, in daylight, before you commit.

See It In Person

Photographs never do a paper justice

The sample book for Elephant Stripe is on the shelf, and the Brush Boards are on the wall. Come and hold them together at 41 Bridge Street, Godalming.
